While we understand that it may sometimes be difficult to make a word count, there are some words that are used as fillers that make your writing look bad. People sometimes use profanities and it is said that they have a bad command of their language – these words have the same effect:

about – rather use approximately, estimated, nearlyjust – rather use only, a merevery – highly, seriously

If all else fails, do a synonym check in Word. Type the word on a sheet, right click, click on synonyms. See diagram:

Please proofread your work before sending it in and make sure that your writing makes sense. This week has seen many incomplete and run-on sentences which are NOT allowed. We had many articles rejected because of this. Below are a few mistakes I found and corrected. Please do not feel bad if I used your work – we use everyone’s experiences to enhance one another:

When you receive an order, it will have an order number, order type, word amount and keywords.

Those keywords have to be copied and pasted directly from the instructions into the title, the first and the last paragraph of each and every article. NEVER change the articles. Do not correct capitalization and spelling and do not fix spelling mistakes.

We write for SEO and the companies do much research on keywords that bring traffic to their sites. It is miss spelt for that reason: it is to cater for those who misspell.

Think about it – when you do a search online looking for info on a holiday adventure you want to try out. There are several ways to do it:

It is common for searchers to not know and understand the right keywords to use to get to a site, therefore SEOs cater for that by redirecting searches using incorrect spelling in keywords.

Over use of keywords is also not permitted. Any words that form part of the keyword or phrase, should not be used more than 5 times in a 500 article – less in a 300 or 400. So if the keyword is “Mississippi cruise”, rather use synonyms such as river, trip, adventure, etc. in addition to the keywords.

* Start your sentences with a power word if possible (not with A, The, or Sometimes and not the keyword)

* A sentence should not be longer than 20-25 words.

* Write in full sentences. If you are writing a review on a printer, don’t write “The cartridge. This is the ink” These sentences make no sense. A full sentence would be “The cartridge contains the ink.”
